151.96 is what percent of 165.64 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 165.64 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 165.64, so we can write it down as 100%=165.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 151.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=151.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=165.64
2) x%=151.96
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=165.64/151.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 151.96 is what percent of 165.64

100%/x%=165.64/151.96
(100/x)*x=(165.64/151.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0900236904449*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0900236904449) to get x
100/1.0900236904449=x
91.741125332045=x
x=91.741125332045

now we have:
151.96 is 91.741125332045% of 165.64
